‘Lyra‘, the song that Kate Bush recorded for the soundtrack to The Golden Compass, was played on the BBC today, and it’s pretty underwhelming. It starts around the 44:20 mark. Among the lyrics:
Lyra and her face
Full of grace
Two worlds collide around her
The truth lies deep inside her
Lyra as a sort of Marian bridge between the human and the divine? Yeah, that won’t add to the debate over this film’s religious and/or anti-religious sensibility, will it. (Hat tip to BridgeToTheStars.net.)
